Many pages still mention use of the obsolete sysctl(2) system
call, or used the term "sysctls"; rewrite these mentions to
instead be in terms of /proc interfaces.

Michael Kerrisk 732e54dd96 clone.2, mount.2, unshare.2, proc.5, path_resolution.7: Global fix: s/mount-point namespace/mount namespace/
This is more consistent with the term "mounts namespace"
used in the 2008 ACM SIGOPS paper, "Virtual servers
and and checkpoint/restart in mainstream Linux".
(I avoided the "s", because using the plural strikes me
as klunky English, and anyway we don't talk about
the "PIDs namespace" or the "networks namespace", etc..)

Michael Kerrisk 4df2eb09d1 clone.2, mount.2, unshare.2, proc.5, path_resolution.7: Global fix: s/namespace/mount-point namespace/, as appropriate
In recent times, a number of other namespace flags have been
added to clone(2).  As such, it is no longer clear to use
the generic term "namespace" to refer to the particular
namespace controlled by CLONE_NEWNS; instead, use the
term "mount-point namespace".

Pierre Cazenave 01f59bf3d5 utmp.5: It is just "other" who should not have write perms on utmp
The page was vague before, saying that utmp should not be writable
by any user.  This isn't true: it can be, and typically is, writable
by user and group.

Michael Kerrisk c1eea65af0 proc.5: rewrite and simplify description of /proc/mounts
Most of the relevant discussion is now under /proc/PID/mounts;
all that needs to be here is a mention of the pre-2.4.19
system-wide namespace situation, and a reference to the
discussion under /proc/PID/mounts.
